A Most Excellent Day

On Sunday we had what another friend called 'a most excellent day'!! And it truly was....

We were going sailing with friends and met them at the dock where the sailboat, Wings, was docked. Dave took the helm as we motored out of the marina in Stanley Park.
Past the Brockton Point Lighthouse...a unique view that you don't get when walking the Sea Wall or driving through the Park.
Just in time to see a Float Plane taking off. It was amazing to see how many came and went in the harbor.
And we're off...headed for the Lion's Gate Bridge.
Under the bridge and taking a look back into the sun....
My turn to take the helm. We all had a chance to try it while motoring and then later when the wind picked up while actually sailing.
This really was a memorable day...we were like two little kids!
Past the Point Atkinson Lighthouse.....
Our destination was Bowen Island .... we had never been there in all our years here in BC.
The goal was Doc Morgan's next to the Marina for lunch.
We were just having so much fun.
Too soon it was time to head back home.....
It felt like we were living a dream.....leaving Snug Cove.
Finally, enough wind to unfurl the sails..
We weren't the only sailboat enjoying the afternoon wind.
A unique perspective.

We had seen this Cruise Ship docked at Canada Place in the morning as we left and now we were both passing under the Lions Gate Bridge at the same time.

Dave's turn at the helm brought us back into the harbor.

It truly had been a most excellent day!!! Thank you so much W & G for taking us along.
